Caring for rabbits requires a deep knowledge and understanding of their needs and behaviors, which can be achieved by providing a suitable environment and comprehensive care.
Proper care is required to ensure good health and happiness for these delicate creatures.
The most important points to follow in order to raise rabbits:
Choosing the right breed for breeding:
A person interested in raising rabbits should consider many factors when choosing a breed, including breed size, calm or active nature, productivity rate, care requirements, and local environmental requirements.

Methods of preparing the house (internal, external):
It depends on where you raise the rabbits, whether it is outside in the garden or inside the house. Here are some ways to prepare the housing for the rabbits in both cases:
Raising rabbits outside the house:
- Outdoor pen or cage:
Use waterproof, easy-to-clean materials to build the barn.
The coop should be large enough to provide room for the rabbits to move and roam.
Create a covered enclosure that provides protection from the elements such as rain and hot sun.
- Preparing the space:
Use comfortable bedding materials such as straw or pebbles.
Provide a cage or shelter that includes a sleeping area and an eating and drinking area.
Provide a shaded area for the rabbits to protect them from direct sunlight.
Raising rabbits indoors:
- Inner cage:
Choose a cage that is large enough for the rabbits to move freely around the house.
Line the bottom of the cage with comfortable materials such as straw or cotton bedding.
A climbing box or toys can be provided for the rabbits to help with their activity.
- Providing food and water:
Make sure to renew water and food daily.
Choose a container that is stable and sanitary to avoid contamination of water and food.
- Ventilation:
Avoid keeping rabbits in areas that are not well ventilated or insulated.
Make sure there is good ventilation inside the rabbit enclosure inside the house.
The shelter must be safe, clean, and adequate for her basic needs.
Healthy and suitable food for rabbits:
1. Weeds and herbs:
Fresh grasses and herbs are an essential part of a rabbit's diet.
2. Vegetables:
Root vegetables such as carrots, beets and cucumbers can be offered in moderate amounts.
Leafy greens such as kale, spinach, and celery are a good source of fiber and other nutrients.
3. Fruits:
Frozen fruits such as strawberries, apples, and bananas are good choices to diversify your rabbit's diet.
Avoid giving rabbits large amounts of fruits due to their high sugar content.
4. Dry feed:
Make sure to choose high-quality dry feed that contains a balanced ratio of protein and fiber.
